 Excellent, reliable guide November 4, 2008
You can't go wrong with this guide. The challenge for NYC, which is overwhelming in size, offerings, activities, etc. is how to figure out what you most want to do where, and what is worth your money and what isn't. This guide offers comprehensive, practical, cost-effective suggestions, whether you are a newcomer to the city or a regular visitor. What I really appreciate is the emphasis on what NOT to waste your money on (any transportation other than the subway), any of those double-decker bus guided tours, etc. And of course there are inexpensive must-dos: the Staten Island Ferry, shopping in Chinatown, walking tours, etc. Investing in this book will save you money every time you go to NYC, and I always bring it with me.
 One of the best on NYC - not your typical travel guide! September 7, 2007
One of the best guides on New York city. It does not list places like a typical travel guide! It gives you a good local's low-down on this city that can intimidate an outsider!
The Best Guidebook to NYC August 22, 2007
I have been to NYC twice and picked up this guidebook in anticipation of my third trip to New York. I have not actually brought this book with me to NYC yet, but as far as I'm concerned, it's the best one out there. It has tons of ideas on how to visit the best places for the least amount of money. I probably saved a couple hundred just on tickets to shows and museums alone by using the tips in her book. I can't imagine traveling anywhere else without the help of Pauline. It truly is an amazing book. I particularly love the Accomodations section and The Essentials of Planning section. The only other book I would get to take on your trip is a good old trusty map. I personally recommend the Knopf Mapguides. With these two in tow, you're ready to hit the city and "Spend less, see more."
The only guide book you will need August 9, 2007
I purchased three guide books in anticipation of a recent trip to NYC. After reviewing all three, I sent the other two back. This was the only guide book that I needed for a great visit to the city. The restaurant ratings were great, detailing reasonably priced restaurants that the locals frequent. The lodging B&B information was great too although I had already made my reservations before buying the book (the hotel I had picked turned out to be favorably reviewed in the book). The sightseeing and shopping sections and the getting around the city sections were right on and, besides saving us time and money, steered us to the best things to see and do for a limited stay. It is nice to have a guide book written by a local resident who really knows her way around the city!
From a fellow New Yorker May 5, 2007
Having grown up in Manhattan but not lived there in 20 years, I was thrilled to find a NYC guidebook that not only provides excellent suggestions for enjoying NY to its utmost, but also gives really interesting historical/landmark information. It's well-written and engaging and a must-have for people who live in or out of the Big Apple. Kudos to Pauline Frommer!
